Orthotics

I'm seeing a Podiatrist about this soon, but has anyone here tried custom orthotic inserts for over/under pronation? My IT bands hurt like a bitch after running these days. Just curious to know what your experiences have been, if any. Thanks.

I wore an old pair of running shoes for way too long a few years ago and developed plantars fasiitas. That was very painful. I did not get any orthotics - I just got a new pair of shoes with better arch support and the pain went away after six months. That's the best I can give you.

Thanks Mike, though I think mine is more of a chronic problem that is surfacing now because I've been a lot more active lately than usual. I don't think it is a 'wait for the leg to get stronger' issue either.
